Vilmart have 11 hectares of vines in the Monntagne de Reims, in the small village of Rilly la Montagne. No chemical fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides are used. The base wines are aged in oak. This is a proper wine: still primary and youthful, but with great potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Champagne Vilmart &amp; Cie Grand Cellier Brut Premier Cru NV France<\/strong><br \/>\nThe base wines for this are aged in foudres and small oak for 10 months; no malolactic; 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. This is from the 2010\/11\/12 vintages. Super refined and fresh with some depth to the pear and lemon fruit, and some fine toastiness. Structured and fresh with great concentration. Notes of toast and spice, with lovely precision. Tight and primary with lots of potential for future development. Truly exceptional. 94\/100 (\u00a342 Berry Bros &amp; Rudd)<\/p>\n<p><strong>GROWER CHAMPAGNE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/another-lovely-champagne-gatinois-ay-grand-cru-nv\" target=\"_blank\">Gatinois A\u00ff Grand Cru Brut Tradition NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-michel-arnould-grand-cru-brut-reserve-nv-france\" target=\"_blank\">Michel Arnould Grand Cru Brut R\u00e9serve NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/ulysse-collin-les-maillons-blanc-de-noirs-a-sensational-champagne\" target=\"_blank\">Ulysse Collin Blanc de Noirs Les Maillons Extra Brut NV France<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-pierre-peters-cuvee-du-reserve-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru\" target=\"_blank\">Pierre P\u00e9ters Cuv\u00e9e du R\u00e9serve Blanc de Blancs Brut Grand Cru NV France<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-rl-legras-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru\" target=\"_blank\">R&amp;L Legras Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-bereche-et-fils-campania-remensis-extra-brut-rose\" target=\"_blank\">B\u00e9r\u00eache et Fils Campania Remensis Extra Brut Ros\u00e9 NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/a-great-lunch-at-social-wine-and-tapas-with-savart-and-pignan\" target=\"_blank\">Savart L\u2019Ouverture Premier Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/champagne-raphael-vincent-bereche-montagne-2004\" target=\"_blank\">Rapha\u00ebl &amp; Vincent B\u00e9r\u00eache Montagne Premier Cru 2004<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/champagne\/two-from-champagne-savart\" target=\"_blank\">Savart L\u2019Accomplie 1er Cru NV<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is really good.
